No one cares enough about the Phelps clan to counter protest where they live. We should just stop giving Phelps free publicity.

There are other Democrats who say things as outrageous and hateful as Fred Phelps (D). But if you look at the headline, the lavender mafia use the pravda media to slur any Christians who take a moral stand against homosexuality.

Fred Phelps is the "go to guy" for their stereotype of all Christian opposition to homosexuality. It is based upon a lie. Fred Phelps' church has a membership consisting of SOME of his extended family, who also serve as litigators for the "church". He's been active as a candidate in Democrat politics. Who knows if he even believes the crap he spouts. He knows he serves to taint all Christians.
